Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 01:31 · Archive

Port Adelaide AFLW captain Justine Mules-Robinson will retire at season's end after winning three premierships with Adelaide.

Port Adelaide's AFLW captain Justine Mules-Robinson will retire at the end of the season. The prospect of parenthood is a factor in her decision; she and her wife Liv are expecting their first child this year. "I'm taking on a new role to being the best future mum and wife I can be," she said.

Mules-Robinson was an inaugural AFLW player who won three premierships with Adelaide in 2017, 2019 and 2022. She has played 49 games with the Crows and moved to Port Adelaide, for whom she has captained since last year and added 54 games. She said the premierships stood out in her career, but the bonds she had formed with her teammates would stay with her. "But what will stay with me are the crazy times, the little moments, and lifelong bonds I've made with the girls," she said.

Mules-Robinson featured in the inaugural AFLW season after being prompted by friends to nominate for the draft. "To think that being on a night out with mates and putting my name into the first AFLW draft would somehow lead me here," she said.
